Broad Pennant of a Naval Squadron Commander, dated 1985.

Broad Pennant of a Naval Squadron Commander, dated 1985.

In wool bunting, measures 81" long, 14" across at the hoist.

The hoist sleeve shows a 1985 date of manufacture. This type
of pennant was hoisted just below the commission pennant on
the masthead of the ship of the squadron commander (smaller
unit of 2nd to 4th rate warships) while the ship was
underway. Features USSR naval ensign at the base, followed
by a slightly tapered field of navy blue ending in swallow-
tale. This particular broad pennant is of very large size
making it suitable for a larger vessel, perhaps a cruiser.

In pennant is in excellent condition. Shows a couple of
minor marks from storage, otherwise perfect, completely free
of stains, significant soiling, mothing or other damage. A
very uncommon piece!
